    Non-GHG air pollutants (C2.4)

    Non-GHG air pollutants (tonnes) by type:

    • Particulate matter (PM2.5 and/or PM10);
    • Nitrogen oxides (NO2, NO and NO3);
    • Volatile organic compounds (VOC or NMVOC);
    • Sulphur oxides (SO2, SO, SO3, SOX); and
    • Ammonia (NH3).
    Additional pollutants to report under the core global disclosure metric include:

    • Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).

    From the list of pollutants under the core global disclosure metric, an organisation should particularly look to include particulate matter from the combustion of wood fuel from the production stage; and sulphur and nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from processing and manufacturing.
